This transcendent story follows four college friends who move to New York City, buoyed by ambition: Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, an artist; Malcolm, an architect; and, at the center, Jude, a withdrawn, brilliant attorney haunted by an unspeakable past. Through decades of shared and separate lives, Jude’s suffering - and its impact on those who love him - raises questions about the limits of human endurance, the possibility for redemption, and the meaning of friendship.

Geschichte
Nach dem Verlust seiner Frau Caroline zieht Michael Turner nach London, in den idyllischen Stadtteil Hampstead Heath, wo er sich bald mit den Nachbarn anfreundet. Die Nelsons und ihre beiden Töchter repräsentieren ein Leben voller Geborgenheit, Stabilität und Nähe, genau das, was Michael verloren hat. Aber ein Samstagnachmittag verändert schlagartig alles: Als Michael unangekündigt das Haus der Nelsons betritt, scheint niemand zu Hause. Ein fataler Irrtum... Ein Drama, das zeigt, was mit einer Freundschaft passiert, wenn Geheimnisse und Lügen ihre heimtückische Natur entfalten.

Geschichte
When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early 40s, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils.... Pagford is not what it at first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the town's council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen.

Geschichte
In this unnamed city, to be interesting is dangerous. Middle sister, our protagonist, is busy attempting to keep her mother from discovering her maybe-boyfriend and to keep everyone in the dark about her encounter with Milkman. But when first brother-in-law sniffs out her struggle, and rumours start to swell, middle sister becomes 'interesting'. The last thing she ever wanted to be. To be interesting is to be noticed and to be noticed is dangerous. Milkman is a tale of gossip and hearsay, silence and deliberate deafness. It is the story of inaction with enormous consequences.

Ein großartiges Buch
Bis zu der Stelle, an der das schicksalhafte Ereignis in dem Haus passiert, welches der Protagonist zu Beginn betrifft, habe ich das Hörbuch genossen. Ein unaufgeregter Erzählstil, der gleichsam im Vorübergehen die Tiefen menschlicher Verfasstheit schildert, erinnert mich bisweilen an Paul Auster.
Ohne Zweifel ein großartiges Buch. -
Und trotzdem habe ich es erstmal aus der Hand gelegt, weil ich mich mit der Richtung, in der die Geschichte geht, nicht anfreunden kann. Allein die Sprache (ich höre die englische Originalfassung) sowie ein exzellenter Sprecher können mich über die restlichen Kapitel tragen.
